Updated Siebel Repository files (SRF files) are provided as part of Siebel Innovation Pack 2016. These SRF files correspond to repository updates in the Siebel database for the current release. The updated SRF files are available for all of the supported Siebel languages. Use the updated SRF files after you install Siebel Innovation Pack 2016, for either of the following upgrade tasks summarized in this topic. (It is not necessary to compile the New Siebel Repository SRF.)

You also require the updated SRF files to run Siebel Business Applications after you install a new

Siebel database for Siebel CRM version 16.0. For more information, see the Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

NOTE: After installing the Siebel CRM software for the current release, you must reset any passwords in the siebns.dat file on the Siebel Gateway Name Server that were previously encrypted using RC4 encryption. In the current release, such passwords are encrypted using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of RC4. You must perform this task regardless of the type of upgrade you are performing. For more information about reencrypting passwords, see Siebel Security Guide.
